Czar's story is a great lesson for all of you business owners or hiring managers out there:

HIRE PASSIONATE PEOPLE.

Sometimes folks get so stuck on looking at degrees, GPAs, "relevant experience", etc. that they miss one of the biggest factors in determining whether a person will be successful or not: passion. Without knowing anything about Czar's education and technical ability, you just KNOW he has had and will continue to have a huge positive impact on future 2K titles because of the energy and care he brings to the table.

Not saying that experience and technical ability are irrelevant, but it's frustrating to see people with a fire in their belly being passed up for a clock-puncher who happens to have the "right" degree.

Excellent show Rich and Czar, one of my favorites I've heard yet.
